After the victory at the Philips Stadium, Dortmund's situation began to look better - Arsenal now ranks first in this group with nine points from three games, Dortmund ranks second with two wins and one loss, PSV and Ose
Erdu only has one point and there are three rounds left in the group. Arsenal and Dortmund seem to have no problem qualifying.
The Dortmund fans were very happy that Cavinagy broke the goal drought. Although his worth is not very high, it is obvious that Dick will make him the number one striker. Now that he can break the goal drought,
I'm afraid Dortmund will score more goals - the Dortmund fans' thinking is very simple. Now they can only choose to trust Dick. If Dick messes up, they won't get anything good...
Dick was lucky enough to come to such a club, which gave him a chance to buffer his reputation, which was not particularly stable. You must know that although Dick's results under the leadership of the team are not bad, after all, he also needs to work with the team.
Dick was lucky to have progressed together and come to a league with a relatively relaxed environment. If he had been coaching a mid-to-upper-tier club in the Premier League or Serie A at that time, I am afraid that the media and fans would have been much harsher on him.
After losing two games, Leverkusen finally relied on Babic's two goals to defeat the Israeli team Maccabi Haifa with two away goals. This rekindled their hope of qualifying, while Bayern was relatively
Tragically, they lost their third Champions League group match. Although Pizarro once helped Bayern equalize the score at home, Inzaghi's two goals made Bayern swallow the bitter pill of defeat at home. Now
In the three rounds of the group stage, they were at the bottom of the table with two losses and one draw. In the next round, they will challenge AC Milan away from home. Bayern's prospects are very, very bad.
Regarding this point, there is also a big discussion in the German football community. Last season, Bayern began to slowly decline in form, slipping from the top form at the turn of the century - although the German national team was very difficult in those years.
Force, but Bayern is undoubtedly the top team in Europe. It is very likely to win the Champions League for three consecutive times. In the end, only winning one can only be regarded as their bad luck. It is precisely because of Bayern's support that Germany
The worst period of football still gave German fans hope. Even if fans of other teams did not like Bayern, they had to admit that Bayern was the overlord of German football and the most trustworthy team in the European arena.
, in this regard, no matter whether it is Monchengladbach and Cologne who competed with Bayern in the past, or current Dortmund and Leverkusen, they cannot compare with Bayern.
When Bayern had a hard time qualifying, Dortmund, who had a better group situation, became a booster for the Bundesliga during the downturn. However, this was not a good thing for Dortmund. Although Bayern was in poor form in the Champions League,
They are still very strong in the league, but the more energy Dortmund takes away from the Champions League, the more disadvantaged they become in the league.
It's just that Dortmund has nothing to say about this. Didn't Bayern still dominate the Bundesliga in the past few years even though it involved a lot of energy in the European arena? If you want to be the hegemon, you will naturally have to pay more than the average team.
What's more, if Dortmund wants to suppress Bayern, it needs to reach the top level in both aspects.
At least Dick doesn't think this is a problem. Dortmund's current overall performance may not be worse than Bayern, but it just needs time to adjust. The more games, the more beneficial it is for Dortmund. Dick, who is used to playing La Liga games, simply can't
I don’t think the Bundesliga schedule is so intensive - no, after just a few weeks of double matches a week, we will have a good time of one match a week again...
In the next round of the league, Dortmund challenged newly promoted Hannover 96 away from home. For this game, Dick just rotated Ruyt and let Alves start.
Hannover 96 is currently ranked 16th and is within the relegation zone. This result is quite normal for a newly promoted team. Even though it was an away game, Dortmund did not play very conservatively. The running of the frontcourt was quite good.
, constantly involving Hannover 96's defense, and then creating opportunities.
After a series of cooperation, Dortmund finally took the lead before the end of the first half. Rivaldo passed the ball and Frings stepped in and opened the scoring for Dortmund with a beautiful long shot. Shortly after the start of the second half, Kavi
Nagy extended the team's lead after receiving a pass from Okocha in the penalty area. Before the end, Rivaldo scored his fourth goal in the Bundesliga this season. Dortmund gained a goal in the away game.
A hearty victory, the 3-0 score was also the first time this season that Dortmund scored three goals without conceding a goal.
Bayern returned to the domestic arena and once again showed great strength. They defeated Bochum 4-1 at home and were closely chasing Dortmund with a two-point disadvantage.
Dortmund fans began to laugh at Bayern, who was an insider in the civil war and an outsider in the outside war. Bayern fans said that they have been supporting the European competition for a long time. If you guys were not strong in the European competition, the Bundesliga would be reduced to fourth place.
League?
Fans from both sides have been engaged in a war of words for several days, but it is a fact that Dortmund has been getting better and better this season. After scoring two consecutive games, Cavinagi's position has been completely stabilized. He can compete with Riviera in the frontcourt.
Waldo and Okocha became a whole. Although Rivaldo's performance was not as exaggerated as in the World Cup, he also showed his strength as a world star. Okocha did not score many goals but could play a very important role. Plus
With Rosicky's organization and Frings' forward penetration, Dick's tactical intentions in Dortmund have been fully demonstrated. This tactic is relatively advanced in the Bundesliga. Those tall Bundesliga defenders often seem very uncomfortable.
——Now it’s time to see who can score more points between Bayern and Dortmund in the league, plus the results of the encounter between the two sides——Now that the league has played eight rounds, Dortmund has six wins and two draws to remain unbeaten, while
Bayern has six wins, one draw and one loss. Such results have allowed these two teams to quickly establish an advantage. Bremen, who is ranked third, only has 16 points now, which is a certain gap between them. Maybe in the future
In the league, teams such as Werder Bremen and Schalke can only compete for third place in the league.
After a week's rest, the two giants once again showed their top level in the league. Bayern defeated Rostock 1-0 away from home, which had a good start to the season, while Dortmund defeated Bielefeld 3-0 at home.
, Kavinaji, Okocha and Rosicky each scored a goal in the game. Dortmund continued to lead at the top of the list, with Bayern chasing closely behind - as Bremen was tied in this round of the league, they and Bayern
The gap between them has been widened to five points, and they are six points behind Dortmund. A situation in which Bayern and Dortmund are side by side has been formed.
Cavinagy's goals in three consecutive games have attracted the attention of many people. After the initial discomfort, Cavinagy gradually became the well-deserved main striker of Dortmund. Unlike Amoruso before,
Kavinaghi rarely dribbles past people, nor does he make any great passes, and his footwork is not outstanding. However, he is a pure shooter. In addition, other players can do things such as organization, breakthrough, and passing.
He only needs to run and grab points, which allows him to perform well without carrying too much burden.
Dick is not a head coach who relies on stars, he values the team as a whole - just like when he was at Atletico Madrid, Jardel's task was to score goals, Vicente's task was to break through from the wing, Camorane
West's task is to strengthen the running ability of the midfield, and Belleron's task is to organize the offense - he is a very confident head coach, he believes that he can discover what all the players are best at, and then blend them
It becomes an organic whole, and it is almost the same in Dortmund now. All Cavinagy has to do is run and score goals, all Okocha has to do is cooperate and control the ball in the midfield, Rivaldo is a free man, and Di
Grams gave him enough freedom because he has top-level strength. Rosicky organized from behind, Frings defended and penetrated forward, and the two full-backs ran up and down. The advantage of this is that the team
It will be faster to run smoothly because what each player has to do is very simple. Under this tactic, a certain player is no longer the most important player. The most important thing is always the head coach.
Dick enjoyed this feeling.
This is also the reason why his team can quickly show its strength whether it is at Atletico Madrid or now in Dortmund, because what the players have to do is not complicated, and this approach cannot be used by all coaches.
At least it is very difficult to correctly understand the characteristics of these players and integrate them together. Dick's advantage lies in his later memory. He clearly understands the advantages of these players. If he can transform, he will transform, and if he cannot transform, then he will transform.
Give up, in short, everything must serve the overall strategy.
Of course, the task of integrating players is a reflection of his personal ability. This is his talent and his specialty.
After consecutive victories, Dortmund began to take a nap. In the next Champions League game, they were tied 0-0 at home by PSV, which had only one point before. PSV remained united throughout the game.
Surrounded by Hovland and Van Bommel, who returned from injury, they used excellent defense to prevent Dortmund's offense from scoring any goals!
Arsenal also suffered in this round of games. They unexpectedly lost 1-2 at home to Auxerre - which made the seemingly clear situation a little confusing. Arsenal now has nine points.
Ranked first in the group, Dortmund is second in the group with seven points, Auxerre has four points, PSV has two points, and they all still have a chance to qualify from the group!
"It's a pity to be tied by PSV, but we still have a huge advantage now, and I still have full confidence in qualifying for the group. This round of games proves that there are no weak teams in the European competition, let alone us.
We are in a pretty strong group. The next round of games is very important for us, and we will prepare well for this game."
Dick said this at the press conference after the game. One thing that reporters who are familiar with him know is that Dick is definitely not someone who will say nothing and do nothing after being beaten.
It is normal to win or lose in a game, but after losing, he will definitely hold his breath and insist on winning back!
Originally, Arsenal and Dortmund were both in good condition before. Maybe the two teams would have qualified early when they met. However, there are some dangers now. This makes the next Champions League more important than the battle for face.
There are more conflicts of interests - neither Dortmund nor Arsenal will ignore the benefits of playing one more group stage in the Champions League!
